Higher Education Update

May 11, 2011

Governor Brian Sandoval recently announced the state would add some money back into the education system in Nevada. Nevada's K-12 schools will get an additional $242 million added to their budget but Nevada's colleges and universities will get a fraction of that, about $20-million. Amidst those budget cuts is the threat that Nevada State College could be closed completely or folded into another schools. So despite the good budget news from the Economic Forum, the Nevada System of Higher Education is still on shaky ground. We'll talk with Regent, Michale Wixom and an administrator from NSC about the future of colleges in Nevada.

The university may make a 72% cut to its cooperative extension program, which does everything ranging from teaching citizens how to garden, to teaching new mothers about breastfeeding and childhood obesity.

Carolyn Edwards

Jan 28, 2011
Governor Brian Sandoval wants to reform the state's education system by doing things like ending teacher tenure in Nevada and pushing for better charter school options for kids. These are just pieces of the Sandoval plan that officials in the Clark County School District will deal with. Also likely on that list is more budget cuts. This year the school board has three new members and a new superintendent. Carolyn Edwards takes the helm as chair of the CCSD board of trustees this year. We'll talk with her about the upcoming legislative session and her take on the real impact it might have on students in CCSD.
